The extracted information for this record is:In the 1850 U.S. Census for Stillwater, Sussex County, New Jersey, the Seth W. Hulse household included:* Seth W. Hulse - age 53, male, white, labourer, $6000 in real property, born in N.J.* Sophia Hulse - age 46, female, white, born in N.J.* Euphemia Foster - age 20, female, white, born in N.J.* Ann Auble - age 66, female, white, born in N.J.The source citation for this record is:1850 United States Federal Census, Sussex County, New Jersey, popultion schedule, Page 88B, Dwelling #247, Family #254, Seth Hulse household; indexed database and digital image, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com), citing National Archives Microfilm Publication M432, Roll 464.

b) The 1860 U.S. Census record is:

The extracted information is:

In the 1860 U.S. Census for Stillwater, Sussexc County, New Jersey, the Sophia Hults household included:* Sophia Hults - age 49, female, white, $1350 in real property, $210 in personal property, born in N.J.* Ann S. Buit - age 5, female, white, born in N.J.* Ann Auble - age 73, female, white, born in N.J.

Note that Euphemia Foster is enumerated just above Sophia Hults, a domestic in another household.

c) I found another record in the 1870 U.S. Census for Sophia Hulse, but not for Euphemia:

The extracted information is:

In the 1870 United States Census, Sophia Hulse (enumerated as Hulliz) household was enumerated in Stillwater, Sussex County, New Jersey. The household included:* Sophia Hulliz - age 62, female, white, keeping house, born New Jersey* Samantha Bales - age 16, female, white, at school, born New Jersey
The source citation is:

d) I did not find Sophia in the 1880 U.S. Census, but I did find Euphemia:

The extracted information from this record is:

In the 1880 United States census, the Euphemia Foster household was enumerated in Blairstown, Warren County, New Jersey. The family was enumerated just below the Robert Auble household. The household included:* Euphemia Foster - white, female, age 47, single, keeping house, born New Jersey, father born New Jersey, mother born New Jersey* Annie C. Foster - white, female, age 23, daughter, single, dressmaker, has dyspepsia, born New Jersey, father born New Jersey, mother born New Jersey* Cora Harris - white, female, age 18, boarder, single, dressmaker, has bilious, born New Jersey, father born New Jersey, mother born New York.

The 1880 Census lists Annie C. Foster age 23 as Euphemia's daughter. There is a Samantha Bales age 15 living with Sophia Hulliz in 1870, and an Ann C. Buit in the 1860 Census with Sophia Hults. Is this Ann/Annie the same person as Samantha?

3) There is a New Jersey Birth record for Samantha Foster in Stillwater on 23 April 1855, with Euphemia Foster listed as the mother. The source is:

5) Sophia Hulse died intestate, and had a Letter of Administration filed on 18 May 1888 in Warren County, New Jersey.

The transcription of the snippet above is:

"Sophia Hulse Deceased.Know all men by these presents thatwe Euphemia S. Foster, Annie S. McCracken, John McCracken and Abraham H. Smith, all of the County of Warren in the State ofNew Jersey are held and firmly bound unto the ordinaryof the State of New Jersey in the sum of One thousand dollars to bepaid to the said ordinary or his assigns to which payment willand truly to be made we bind ourselves and each of usfor herself, and for himself, jointly and severally, our, and eachof our heirs, executors and administrators by these presents.Sealed with our seals and dated this the 18th day of MayAD 1888."

The Letter of Administration goes on to appoint Euphemia S. Foster as the administrator of the estate of Sophia Hulse. This document does not indicate a relationship between Euphemia and Sophia. And is Annie S. McCracken the Ann Buit, Annie Foster or Samantha Bales in the census records?

Now I recall that Annie S. McCracken was mentioned in Elizabeth Auble's will!

6) I will stop here and work on the next installment of this puzzle. Eventually, I will answer all of the questions posed above!
